Dear Mr Smith

I refer to this FOI request asking for details of county court judgements
made against the Council in the last five years.

This information is in fact available to you elsewhere, by carrying out a
search of the official Register of Judgements, Orders and Fines, for a
fee. Further information and a link to that search facility can be found
at:

In these circumstances, your request is refused pursuant to section 21 of
the Freedom of Information Act 2000, which says that information which is
accessible to an applicant by other means is exempt information.

If you are unhappy with this response, you can ask for an internal review
of our decision. Please send details of your request for review to the

Executive's Office, Civic Centre, Barras Bridge, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE99

Nicholas Taylor left an annotation (10 May 2010)

Whilst Trust OnLine do offer a service that will show how many CCJ's are against Newcastle upon Tyne City Council, it does not show who the claimant was.

Direct from trustonline site:

"Please note, the search results do not contain any details of the claimant. This information is available, to the defendant, from the relevant county court."

Part of the initial request was "Who" the claimants were.

Section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (c. 36) is not relevant to this part of the request.
